Automotive Product Cybersecurity

This module introduces the automotive cybersecurity landscape and explains why cybersecurity is critical for modern, connected, and software-defined vehicles. It sets the foundation for the rest of the course. After this module, you will be able to: •Understand key automotive cybersecurity concepts and terminology •Explain common threat scenarios affecting modern vehicles •Describe how cybersecurity fits into automotive product development

This module provides a practical understanding of vehicle Electrical/Electronics (E/E) systems, ECU platforms, software architecture, and diagnostics used in real vehicles. After this module, you will be able to: •Understand how ECUs, software, and vehicle networks interact •Explain the role of diagnostics and Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) •Identify cybersecurity-relevant interfaces and system boundaries

In this hands-on lab module, you work directly with vehicle network communication to understand how attacks and weaknesses can occur in practice. After this module, you will be able to: •Understand how CAN bus communication works in real vehicles •Identify common security weaknesses in vehicle networks •Explain how practical security testing supports risk analysis and mitigation

This module focuses on how cybersecurity is governed and structured in the automotive industry through standards and regulation. After this module, you will be able to: •Understand the structure and intent of ISO/SAE 21434 •Explain cybersecurity requirements in UNECE WP.29 R155 •Understand how standards and regulation impact development projects

This core module focuses on applying structured methods to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks in automotive systems. After this module, you will be able to: •Perform a Threat Analysis & Risk Assessment (TARA) for vehicle systems •Identify assets, threats, attack paths, and risks •Propose and justify risk treatment and mitigation measures

In the final module, you apply everything you have learned in a comprehensive, industry-style project based on a realistic automotive system or function. After this module, you will be able to: •Apply automotive cybersecurity methods in a realistic project setting •Produce professional TARA documentation and analysis •Present cybersecurity findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
